9 things you didn't know you could buy at the Disney parks

There's no shortage of ways to spend money at the Disney parks. The parks carry everything from iconic food offerings to alcoholic drinks to classic souvenirs like character tees, keychains, pens, and, of course, Mickey Mouse ears.

The Disney parks are also considered world-class shopping destinations and feature plenty of designer items both in the parks and at nearby Disney shopping malls. It's safe to say there is something for everyone at Disney parks.

That said, there are definitely some surprising things you might not expect to find at a Disney park, ranging from things you might need in a medical emergency like thermometers and medications to more personal goods like condoms and underwear.

These are the nine most unexpected things you can buy at the Disney parks.

Traveling to a theme park with little ones is challenging, but Disney does what they can to make things easier. Each Disney park has its own baby care center, where you can find a comfortable and quiet spot to feed or change your baby.

But according to the official Disney parks website, you can also find everything you need to keep your littlest ones going during your trip, including formula, baby food, juice, diapers, wipes, sunscreen, and over-the-counter medications.

So no matter what gets left behind in the hotel room or at home, you can get what your baby needs to get back to the fun.

It's not just the little ones that are in good hands at the Disney parks — in fact, the resorts are pretty well-equipped for all kinds of emergencies, from bandages for accidental bumps, bruises, and cuts to thermometers if you feel a fever coming on.

You can get over-the-counter medications, EpiPens for allergic reactions, and even contact lens solution at these helpful stations. You'll want to find out where they're located as soon as you get on the property, so you'll know where to go should you need assistance.

You might be surprised to find that Disney hotel gift shops aren't much different than your local hotel gift shop.

No, there aren't Tigger-themed condoms, of course, but if you forget personal items like condoms, period products, hair products, or pretty much any other personal care item, there's a good chance you can find it in a gift shop if you need to.

In recent years, the parks have added charging stations so you no longer have to live without a phone. Don't worry if you forgot your charger at home because you can buy Fuel Rod chargers at both Disneyland and Disney World for a flat fee.

You can purchase swords and daggers.

If you've ever been to Epcot at Walt Disney World, you know that the World Showcase is chock full of authentic goods from the 11 different countries it represents. From luxe French perfumes by Givenchy and Chanel to gorgeous Chinese lanterns, the World Showcase has a lot to offer.

And though weapons of any kind are banned in Disney parks, you might not know that you can get decorative swords and daggers at some of the pavilions, including in Japan and the United Kingdom. You'll likely have to have them shipped home separately since TSA isn't fond of weaponry in your luggage, but cast members can assist you with at-home delivery.

You can spend a lot of money on art.

Fine art collectors might not think about Disney as a go-to spot to add to their collections, but it is. You can find some unique pieces of art, from paintings and sketches to sculptures and crystalware within the Disney parks.

Of course, most home decor styles would look great with a Mickey painting or two, but we're partial to this limited-edition Cinderella Castle sculpture by Arribas Brothers, made of hand-enameled metal and set with 28,255 Swarovski crystals. It can be yours for a cool $37,500 and is sold in select stores at Walt Disney World and online.

You can personalize a parasol.

You can personalize pretty much any of your Disney souvenirs, from your Mickey Mouse ears to your autograph book, but if you're looking for something a little more special, you can get a Mary Poppins-inspired parasol at New Orleans Square in Disneyland.

You can even get a haircut.

You can visit the Harmony Barber Shop, located on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom park, to have your hair cut by a state-licensed cosmetologist for a pretty reasonable fee.

The old-fashioned shop is hidden away and can be easily missed. But the shop offers adults and children alike the VIP treatment, and if it's your child's first haircut, they can snag the "My First Haircut" package, which comes with commemorative Mickey Mouse ears and a certificate.
